- the steel according to the invention can be used to produce a part for a motor vehicle.
- Figure 1 illustrates a microstructure of the steel according to the invention with martensite in white, ferrite and bainite in black.
- the chemical composition is very important as well as the production parameters so as to reach all the objectives. Following chemical composition elements are given in weight percent.
- Carbon is an element used for strengthening the martensite, If the carbon content is below 0.05%, the tensile strength of 980 MPa minimum is not reached in the present invention. If carbon is higher than 0.15%, the martensite will be hard and the total elongation of 8% will not be reached in the steel of the present invention. Furthermore, carbon is strong austenite forming element. Lowering carbon contents, from 0.15 % downwards, allows having for a given annealing temperature, less austenite and enough ferrite to improve formability and reach the total elongation target. Additionally, low annealing temperatures for the steel according to the invention limits considerably ferrite grain growth; as a consequence, the final ferritic grain size is below 0 microns. This combination contributes to the great compromise of mechanical properties obtained in the steel according to the invention.
- the carbon content is so that 0.09 ⁇ C ⁇ 0.14 %.
- Manganese is a hardening element. If Mn content is below 2%, the tensile strength will be lower than 980 MPa. If the Mn content is above 3%, central segregation of Mn is expected at mid thickness and this will be detrimental to In Use Properties. Preferably, the manganese content is so that 2.2 ⁇ Mn ⁇ 2.7 %.
- Silicon has a strengthening effect, it improves total elongation and hole expansion ratio as well as delayed fracture resistance. If Si content is below 0.3%, total elongation will be below 8% and above mentioned properties will be impaired. If Si content is above 1.5%, the rolling loads increase too much and cold rolling process becomes difficult. Furthermore the soaking temperature will be too high, this will lead to manufacturability issues. Moreover, coatability by hot dip coating may get impaired due to silicon oxide formation on surface of the sheet. Preferably, the Si content is so that 0.6 ⁇ Si ⁇ 1 .3 for above given reasons. Aluminum, Just like titanium, can form AIN to protect boron.
- the Al content is so that Al ⁇ 0.05%.
- Niobium can form precipitates, which have a grain refining effect, known to increase tensile strength. In addition it improves hole expansion ratio as well as delayed fracture resistance. If Nb content is above 0.05%, ductility will be reduced and the total elongation will fall below 8%.
- the Nb content is so that Nb ⁇ 0.03%.
- Mo and Cr will improve hardenability and tensile strength. If the sum of these elements is below 0.1 %, a large fraction of ferrite will form in addition to the growth of pro-eutectoide ferrite grain formed during annealing and this will decrease the strength. If the sum of these elements is above 1 % in the steel of the invention, it will make the hot band hard and difficult to cold roll. Preferably the sum of these elements is so that 0.1 ⁇ Cr+Mo ⁇ 0.7%.
- Titanium is added to combine with nitrogen so as to form TiN and as a consequence protect B in solid solution, if neither Ti nor Al is present, boron nitride can form. In that case, boron would not be in solid solution and play its role defined below. Additionally TiN formation improves the formability and the weldability as well as the resistance to Delayed fracture in the steel of the invention. For these reasons Ti content is at least 3.4 times the nitrogen one. Above 0.5 %, Ti will lead to higher annealing temperatures to have the same microstructural balance all other parameters being equal. As a consequence, for cost and energy saving purposes, its content is limited to 0.5%. Preferably, the Ti content is so that 3.4xN ⁇ Ti ⁇ 0.1 %.
- vanadium if the content is above 0.1 %, vanadium will consume the carbon by forming carbides and/or nitro-carbides and this will soften the martensite. In addition, the ductility of the steel according to the invention will be impaired and fall below 8%.
- nitrogen As for nitrogen, if the nitrogen content is above 0.02%, boron nitrides will form and reduce the steel hardenability since low content of free boron will be available. It will also form large fraction of AIN, which is detrimental for total elongation and hole expansion ratio. As a consequence, nitrogen content is limited to 0.02% not to fall below 8% of elongation and/or 20% of hole expansion ratio.
- phosphorus As for phosphorus, at contents over 0.050 wt.%, phosphorus segregates along grain boundaries of steel and causes the deterioration of delayed fracture resistance and weldability of the steel sheet .
- the phosphorus content should therefore be limited to 0.050 wt.%.
- the balance of the steel according to the invention is made of iron and unavoidable impurities.
- the method to produce the steel according to the invention implies casting steel with the chemical composition of the invention.
- the cast steel is reheated above 1180°C.
- slab reheating temperature is below 1180°C, the steel will not be homogeneous and precipitates will not be completely dissolved.
- the slab is hot rolled, the last hot rolling pass taking place at a temperature T
- the coiling temperature is so that 500°C ⁇ T CO iiing ⁇ 750°C.
- the hot rolled steel is de-scaled.
- the hot rolled steel is annealed at a temperature above 300°C during more than 20 minutes. If the thermal treatment is done below 300°C, the forces for cold rolling will be too high and below 20 minutes the same result is obtained, the material will be too hard to be easily cold rolled. Preferably, the thermal treatment is done between 500°C and 650°C for 30 hours to 100 hours.
- the hot rolled steel is placed under a cover, insulated if necessary, to cover one or more coils to facilitate uniform cooling of the hot rolled product.
- the temperature of the hot rolled steel before entering the cover should be above 400°C.
- the cooling rate of the steel should be lower than or equal to 1 °C/min and higher than or equal to 0.01 °C/min. If the cooling rate is higher than 1°C/min, the hot band will be too hard for following cold rolling. A cooling rate lower than O.OrC/min, would be detrimental to productivity.
- -Cold rolling the steel with a cold rolling ratio that will depend on final targeted thickness.
- the annealing temperature T ann eai which must be between 750°C and 950°C.
- Controlling the annealing temperature is an important feature of the process since it enables to control the initial austenite and ferrite fractions as well as their chemical composition. Below 750°C, the ferrite will not be fully recrystallized and elongation will be below 8%, while it is useless to go above 950°C for energy and cost saving reasons.
- the annealing is done within 30 and 300 seconds and the temperature is preferably between 775 and 825°C.
- the steel is oxidized and then reduced. This oxidation followed by reduction step is necessary so that the steel surface is suitable for hot dip coating.
- the reducing step takes place in a radiant tube furnace in a mixed gas atmosphere having a dew point below 0°C.
- the oxidizing step takes place between 500°C and 750°C for productivity reasons.
- the cold rolled steel is cooled. -After the cooling, the steel is held at a temperature between 440°C to 700°C for less than 180 seconds. Below 440°C, a large fraction of bainite or martensite will be formed and whether the tensile strength whether the total elongation will be below the expectations of the present invention: 980 MPa and 8% respectively. Above 700°C, hot dipping issues will appear with vaporization of the melt and the reaction between melt and strip will be uncontrolled. -Then the steel is hot dip coated to obtain a coated cold rolled steel, preferably the hot dip coating is done in a bath of Zn or Zn alloy so as to obtain a galvanized cold rolled high strength steel.
- the hot dip coating is done in a bath of Al or Al alloy so as to obtain an aluminized cold rolled high strength steel.
- the hot dip coated cold rolled steel is alloyed to the substrate so as to obtain a galvannealed cold rolled high strength steel.
- Ferrite in the frame of the present invention is defined by a cubic centre structure with grain size lower than 10 microns ( ⁇ ).
- the sum of the content of ferrite and bainite, in the frame of the invention, must be between 5 and 50 % so as to have at least 8% of total elongation; below 5% of ferrite such elongation level will not be reached. Above 50% of the sum of ferrite and bainite, the tensile strength target of 980 MPa will not be reached.
- the ferrite content is between 5 and 30%. In another embodiment, the bainite content is between 5 to 40%.
- the ferrite grain size is below 10 pm, preferably, it is below 5 pm and even more preferably it is below 3 pm.
- the low grain size ferrite i.e below 10 pm, improves the yield strength.
- This ferrite content range with limited size is obtained thanks to the combination of low annealing temperatures, chemical composition elements such as Nb and Ti which pin ferritic grain sizes and limit their growth as well as the presence of Cr and Mo which limit ferrite formation upon cooling after the annealing.Above 10 pm, the yield strength will be too low and below the target of 500 MPa.
- the aspect ratio of the ferrite grain size i.e the mean values of the ratios of the length by the height of each ferrite grain is between 1 and 3.
- Such measures are taken on at least 3 populations of ferrite grains, samples analyzed being observed with an optical or a scanning electronic microscope at the material third thickness for homogeneity purpose.
- This aspect ratio of ferrite grain size improves the homogeneity of properties, if ferrite grain size are needle types, i.e above 3 or below 1 , the difference of properties between longitudinal direction and transversal direction will be too high and the material properties will be heterogeneous and too much depending on direction of strain.
- Martensite is the structure formed during cooling after the soaking from the unstable austenite formed during annealing. Its content must be within the range of 50 to 95%. Less than 50% the tensile strength target of 980 MPa is not reached and above 95%, the total elongation will be below 8%.
- UTS(MPa) refers to the ultimate tensile strength measured by tensile test in the transversal direction relative to the rolling direction.
- YS (MPa) refers to the yield strength measured by tensile test in the transversal direction relative to the rolling direction
- TEI (%) refers to the total elongation.
- UTS, YS and Tel can be measured following several tests. Tests used for the examples are done according to JIS-T standard.
- HE refers to the hole expansion.
- Such test can be performed with the help of a conical punch made of a cylindrical part which diameter is 45 mm, topped by a conical part.
- Such punch is being positioned under the steel sheet to test and which has been previously provided with a hole of an initial diameter Do of 10 mm.
- the conical punch is then being moved upwards into such hole and does enlarge it until a first traversing crack appears.
- the final diameter D of the hole is then being measured and the hole expansion is calculated using the following relationship:
- Microstructures were observed using a SEM at the quarter thickness location, using 2% Nital etching and quantified by image analysis.

As the use of high strength steels increases in automotive applications, there is a growing demand for steels of increased strength without sacrificing formability. Growing demands for weight saving and safety requirement motivate intensive elaborations of new concepts of automotive steels that can achieve higher ductility simultaneously with higher strength in comparison with the existing Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS).
Thus, several families of steels like the ones mentioned below offering various strength levels have been proposed.
Among those concepts, steels with micro-alloying elements whose hardening is obtained simultaneously by precipitation and by refinement of the grain size have been developed. The development of such High Strength Low Alloyed (HSLA) steels has been followed by those of higher strength called Advanced High Strength Steels which keep good levels of strength together with good cold formability. However, the tensile levels reached by these grades are generally low.
So as to answer to the demand of steels with high resistance and at the same time high formability, a lot of developments took place. However, it is well known that for high strength steels, trying to increase the ultimate tensile strength generally leads to lower ductility levels. Nevertheless, carmakers keep developing more and more complex parts that require more ductility without sacrificing the resistance requirements. In addition, an improvement in yield strength and hole expansion
performance over steels currently in production is needed, for instance for hot dip coated steel sheets.
The invention is directed to a method of manufacturing high strength hot dip coated steel, its production method and the use of said high strength steel to produce 5 a part of a vehicle.
The US application US2013008570 is known, such application deals with an ultra high strength steel plate with at least 1 100MPa of tensile strength that has both an excellent strength-stretch balance and excellent bending workability, and a method ίθ for producing the same. The metal structure of the steel plate has martensite, and the soft phases of bainitic ferrite and polygonal ferrite. The area of the aforementioned martensite constitutes 50% or more, the area of the aforementioned bainitic ferrite constitutes 15% or more, and the area of the aforementioned polygonal ferrite constitutes 5% or less (including 0%). When the circle-equivalent diameter of the
5 aforementioned soft phase is measured, the coefficient of variation (standard deviation/mean value) is less or equal to 1 .0. The ultra high strength steel plate has at least 1 100MPa of tensile strength. Such application is silent as regards to different formability issues such as hole expansion and yield strength which have important impact on in use properties.

The steel according to the invention can be used to produce a part for a motor vehicle.
The main aspects of the invention will now be described:
Figure 1 illustrates a microstructure of the steel according to the invention with martensite in white, ferrite and bainite in black.
To obtain the steel of the invention, the chemical composition is very important as well as the production parameters so as to reach all the objectives. Following chemical composition elements are given in weight percent.
Carbon is an element used for strengthening the martensite, If the carbon content is below 0.05%, the tensile strength of 980 MPa minimum is not reached in the present invention. If carbon is higher than 0.15%, the martensite will be hard and the total elongation of 8% will not be reached in the steel of the present invention.
Furthermore, carbon is strong austenite forming element. Lowering carbon contents, from 0.15 % downwards, allows having for a given annealing temperature, less austenite and enough ferrite to improve formability and reach the total elongation target. Additionally, low annealing temperatures for the steel according to the invention limits considerably ferrite grain growth; as a consequence, the final ferritic grain size is below 0 microns. This combination contributes to the great compromise of mechanical properties obtained in the steel according to the invention.
Preferably, the carbon content is so that 0.09 < C < 0.14 %.
Manganese is a hardening element. If Mn content is below 2%, the tensile strength will be lower than 980 MPa. If the Mn content is above 3%, central segregation of Mn is expected at mid thickness and this will be detrimental to In Use Properties. Preferably, the manganese content is so that 2.2 < Mn < 2.7 %.
Silicon has a strengthening effect, it improves total elongation and hole expansion ratio as well as delayed fracture resistance. If Si content is below 0.3%, total elongation will be below 8% and above mentioned properties will be impaired. If Si content is above 1.5%, the rolling loads increase too much and cold rolling process becomes difficult. Furthermore the soaking temperature will be too high, this will lead to manufacturability issues. Moreover, coatability by hot dip coating may get impaired due to silicon oxide formation on surface of the sheet. Preferably, the Si content is so that 0.6 < Si < 1 .3 for above given reasons. Aluminum, Just like titanium, can form AIN to protect boron. However, its content is limited to 0.1 % because higher Al contents, will lead to higher annealing temperatures to have the same microstructural balance all other parameters being equal. As a consequence, for cost and energy saving purposes, its content is limited to 0.1 %. Preferably, the Al content is so that Al < 0.05%.
Niobium can form precipitates, which have a grain refining effect, known to increase tensile strength. In addition it improves hole expansion ratio as well as delayed fracture resistance. If Nb content is above 0.05%, ductility will be reduced and the total elongation will fall below 8%. Preferably, the Nb content is so that Nb < 0.03%.
Mo and Cr will improve hardenability and tensile strength. If the sum of these elements is below 0.1 %, a large fraction of ferrite will form in addition to the growth of pro-eutectoide ferrite grain formed during annealing and this will decrease the strength. If the sum of these elements is above 1 % in the steel of the invention, it will make the hot band hard and difficult to cold roll. Preferably the sum of these elements is so that 0.1 < Cr+Mo < 0.7%.
Titanium is added to combine with nitrogen so as to form TiN and as a consequence protect B in solid solution, if neither Ti nor Al is present, boron nitride can form. In that case, boron would not be in solid solution and play its role defined below. Additionally TiN formation improves the formability and the weldability as well as the resistance to Delayed fracture in the steel of the invention. For these reasons Ti content is at least 3.4 times the nitrogen one. Above 0.5 %, Ti will lead to higher annealing temperatures to have the same microstructural balance all other parameters being equal. As a consequence, for cost and energy saving purposes, its content is limited to 0.5%. Preferably, the Ti content is so that 3.4xN < Ti < 0.1 %.
Boron can suppress ferrite formation during the cooling step of the cold rolled band annealing. As a result, it avoids a drop in strength below 980 MPa. If the boron content is above or equal 0.0025% (25 ppm), the excess of boron will precipitate as nitride boron at austenitic grain boundaries and these will serve as nucleation sites for ferrite formation with the same tensile drop effect on mechanical properties. Below 0.0001 % (1 ppm) higher grades it terms of tensile strength are more difficult to reach. Ideally, boron must be 0.001 < B < 0.0022 % to obtain mechanical properties above 180 MPa with a minimum of 8% of total elongation.
As for vanadium, if the content is above 0.1 %, vanadium will consume the carbon by forming carbides and/or nitro-carbides and this will soften the martensite. In addition, the ductility of the steel according to the invention will be impaired and fall below 8%.
As for nitrogen, if the nitrogen content is above 0.02%, boron nitrides will form and reduce the steel hardenability since low content of free boron will be available. It will also form large fraction of AIN, which is detrimental for total elongation and hole expansion ratio. As a consequence, nitrogen content is limited to 0.02% not to fall below 8% of elongation and/or 20% of hole expansion ratio.
As for phosphorus, at contents over 0.050 wt.%, phosphorus segregates along grain boundaries of steel and causes the deterioration of delayed fracture resistance and weldability of the steel sheet . The phosphorus content should therefore be limited to 0.050 wt.%.
As for sulphur, contents over 0.01 wt% lead to a large amount of non-metallic inclusions (MnS), and this causes the deterioration of delayed fracture resistance and ductility of the steel sheet. Consequently, the sulphur content should be limited to 0.01 wt%.
The balance of the steel according to the invention is made of iron and unavoidable impurities.
The method to produce the steel according to the invention implies casting steel with the chemical composition of the invention.
The cast steel is reheated above 1180°C. When slab reheating temperature is below 1180°C, the steel will not be homogeneous and precipitates will not be completely dissolved. Then the slab is hot rolled, the last hot rolling pass taking place at a temperature T|P of at least of 800°C. If T|P is below 800°C, hot workability is reduced and cracks will appear and the rolling forces will increase.
-Cooling the steel at a typical cooling rate known per se by man skilled in the art down to the coiling temperature TCOiiing.
- coiiing must be lower than the last pass temperature T|P °C. This temperature is preferably below 800°C. preferably, the coiling temperature is so that 500°C < TCOiiing < 750°C.
-After coiling, the hot rolled steel is de-scaled.
-Then, optionally, the hot rolled steel is annealed at a temperature above 300°C during more than 20 minutes. If the thermal treatment is done below 300°C, the forces for cold rolling will be too high and below 20 minutes the same result is obtained, the material will be too hard to be easily cold rolled. Preferably, the thermal treatment is done between 500°C and 650°C for 30 hours to 100 hours.
-Optionally, the hot rolled steel is placed under a cover, insulated if necessary, to cover one or more coils to facilitate uniform cooling of the hot rolled product.
-In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of the hot rolled steel before entering the cover should be above 400°C. The cooling rate of the steel should be lower than or equal to 1 °C/min and higher than or equal to 0.01 °C/min. If the cooling rate is higher than 1°C/min, the hot band will be too hard for following cold rolling. A cooling rate lower than O.OrC/min, would be detrimental to productivity.
-Cold rolling the steel with a cold rolling ratio that will depend on final targeted thickness.
- Heating the steel up to the annealing temperature Tanneai which must be between 750°C and 950°C. - Annealing the steel at the temperature Tanneai between 750°C and 950°C during at least 30 seconds. Controlling the annealing temperature is an important feature of the process since it enables to control the initial austenite and ferrite fractions as well as their chemical composition. Below 750°C, the ferrite will not be fully recrystallized and elongation will be below 8%, while it is useless to go above 950°C for energy and cost saving reasons. Preferably, the annealing is done within 30 and 300 seconds and the temperature is preferably between 775 and 825°C.
-during this heating, annealing and cooling steps, the steel is oxidized and then reduced. This oxidation followed by reduction step is necessary so that the steel surface is suitable for hot dip coating.
-In a preferred embodiment, the reducing step takes place in a radiant tube furnace in a mixed gas atmosphere having a dew point below 0°C. -In an even preferred embodiment, the oxidizing step takes place between 500°C and 750°C for productivity reasons.
Then the cold rolled steel is cooled. -After the cooling, the steel is held at a temperature between 440°C to 700°C for less than 180 seconds. Below 440°C, a large fraction of bainite or martensite will be formed and whether the tensile strength whether the total elongation will be below the expectations of the present invention: 980 MPa and 8% respectively. Above 700°C, hot dipping issues will appear with vaporization of the melt and the reaction between melt and strip will be uncontrolled.
-Then the steel is hot dip coated to obtain a coated cold rolled steel, preferably the hot dip coating is done in a bath of Zn or Zn alloy so as to obtain a galvanized cold rolled high strength steel.
-In another embodiment, the hot dip coating is done in a bath of Al or Al alloy so as to obtain an aluminized cold rolled high strength steel.
-optionally, the hot dip coated cold rolled steel is alloyed to the substrate so as to obtain a galvannealed cold rolled high strength steel.
-Then the hot dip coated cold rolled steel is cooled down to room temperature at a cooling rate of at least 1 °Cs. Ferrite in the frame of the present invention is defined by a cubic centre structure with grain size lower than 10 microns (μηη). The sum of the content of ferrite and bainite, in the frame of the invention, must be between 5 and 50 % so as to have at least 8% of total elongation; below 5% of ferrite such elongation level will not be reached. Above 50% of the sum of ferrite and bainite, the tensile strength target of 980 MPa will not be reached. Preferably, the ferrite content is between 5 and 30%. In another embodiment, the bainite content is between 5 to 40%.
In a preferred embodiment, the ferrite grain size is below 10 pm, preferably, it is below 5 pm and even more preferably it is below 3 pm. The low grain size ferrite, i.e below 10 pm, improves the yield strength. This ferrite content range with limited size is obtained thanks to the combination of low annealing temperatures, chemical composition elements such as Nb and Ti which pin ferritic grain sizes and limit their growth as well as the presence of Cr and Mo which limit ferrite formation upon cooling after the annealing.Above 10 pm, the yield strength will be too low and below the target of 500 MPa.
In an even preferred embodiment, the aspect ratio of the ferrite grain size, i.e the mean values of the ratios of the length by the height of each ferrite grain is between 1 and 3. Such measures are taken on at least 3 populations of ferrite grains, samples analyzed being observed with an optical or a scanning electronic microscope at the material third thickness for homogeneity purpose. This aspect ratio of ferrite grain size improves the homogeneity of properties, if ferrite grain size are needle types, i.e above 3 or below 1 , the difference of properties between longitudinal direction and transversal direction will be too high and the material properties will be heterogeneous and too much depending on direction of strain.
Martensite is the structure formed during cooling after the soaking from the unstable austenite formed during annealing. Its content must be within the range of 50 to 95%. Less than 50% the tensile strength target of 980 MPa is not reached and above 95%, the total elongation will be below 8%.
The good hole expansion results in this invention is due to the phase fraction balance and small difference in hardness of the phases (ferrite and martensite). Abbreviations
